Designed to provide shelter and nesting opportunities for various beneficial insects, this insect hotel can be a beautiful and functional piece of art that enhances the aesthetic appeal of your surroundings.
The insect hotel is crafted from natural and sustainable wood, which is both durable and lightweight. Its dimensions are 20cm in length, 10cm in width, and 33cm in height, creating a compact yet spacious habitat for insects.

The back of the insect hotel is equipped with a metal hook, making it easily hangable from a tree branch, a fence, or any other suitable spot in your garden. This allows you to place it at an optimal height and position to attract insects.

Moreover, you can adorn the exterior with small, non-toxic decorations such as small faux flowers, miniature garden ornaments, or even natural materials like small seashells or pebbles. These adornments will not only make the insect hotel prettier but also blend it seamlessly with your garden's décor.
Hang the insect hotel securely in a sheltered location with access to sunlight, ensuring it is protected from heavy rain and strong winds. Regularly inspect and clean the hotel, removing any debris or pests that may accumulate over time.
